I Hear Voices In My Head

It's true. I hear voices in my head. I don't talk about it much. But maybe it's a good time to start. You see, I'm a complex person. A lot goes on inside my head that no one else ever realizes.

The main voice I hear comes from my ego. My ego takes information from the world - from my surroundings - and delivers it to me. I would die without my ego. You would too.

Well, you wouldn't die without MY ego - but you would die if you didn't have YOUR ego.

My ego actually has it's own thought processes. My ego thinks - independently of me. That can be a hard concept to really grasp. Because we all want to believe we're the only ones doing the thinking upstairs. Not true.

In fact, for some people, their ego does most all of their thinking for them. That's not a good place to be. Because for most of us, our ego wants to cause trouble. At the very least, it may jumble the messages it gives.

Let's say someone tells you: "You did a bad job."

But what you hear is: "You are a bad person."

Those two statements carry quite different meanings. If you go around all day long hearing garbled messages, that creates many problems.

So many people - early in life - decide they just don't want to participate; or they don't want to be responsible for their lives. They don't WANT to interpret the data they receive from their egos. They don't want to make the choices and decisions about what to do.

This forces the ego to do the work of interpretation. But the ego lacks the equipment - the mental prowess - to successfully run our lives. Besides, that's our job anyway.

The ego builds resentment. It starts to resent us. It starts to resent being forced to do the 'dirty work' of running the person's life for them. It's not allowed to just do *it's* job. And you end up not being able to discern between "You did a bad job" and "You are a bad person".

The ego can become quite negative. Quite destructive. And quite the saboteur in your life. It can drag you down. Especially if you can't distinguish its voice from yours.

Generally speaking, the more bitter, pessimistic, angry, and destructive a person becomes, the greater the chance their life is being run by their ego. They're listening to the wrong voice in their head.

Look, even a healthy positive ego will talk to you. There's no escaping your ego. It goes with you EVERYWHERE.

You want it to be strong, healthy and positive. But right now, it's important to know what it sounds like. You need to be able to distinguish between it, and you.

You would be well-advised to visualize it - get an idea of what it might look like. And deliberately ask it questions. Learn as much as you can. Just keep in mind that a weak, negative ego will lie to you. Often in a loud voice.

It's the number one voice you hear in your head.

Other prominent voices include: martyr, victim, child, adolescent, and parent. Common to all: they exist as lesser parts of you. Meaning, parts of your personality that possess less intelligence, with less access to resources than you.

They're less capable of making choices and decisions than you.

But for many, these lesser voices run their lives. Generally speaking, the less you're willing to choose, to decide, to seek out responsibility - the greater the chance that some other lesser part of you must choose, decide, and accept responsibility for your life.

Bottom line: someone is 'driving your car' all the time you're awake. Who's behind the wheel? Your inner child? Your inner victim? If so, don't blame them if your life enters a crisis. Or if your life slams into a brick wall.

The next time you find yourself acting in less than an exemplary fashion, you might want to stop for a minute and ask - which part of me is running the show right now?

And you might want to stop and listen to what they have to say. Not so you can blindly follow it. But so you can distinguish it from your OWN thoughts and feelings.

You might want to listen to the voices in your head. I do.

what i realize after some time , that i am under attack psychic or astral and i know the person who did it and i know that there is process how can somebody attach to your subconsciouss and find all your fears and then talk in your head hidden and trying to isolate you from all people you love
i still do not know how they do that but are using some kind of programming mind
there are so evil evil people who enjoy to play with people lives , they are cowards and losers

I hear voices in my head almost all the time it controls me and does things which i don't want to do and say things which i don't want to say sometimes it sounds weird because i am always struggling with right or wrong in my head. This thing just sucks all energy and time out of my life. I feel its a continous fight between mind and soul. may be because mind learns what you have seen from childhood and your experience with life and brings all this information in form of thoughts which are so strong which i think rules us and if our soul realize the right thing and then the fight begins with our thoughts, soul and mind. Its so hard to control that it can almost kill us and i don't think any other person can understand this unless they have faced the similar situation. I keep fighting with myself saying "I have no time for you devil u r a trouble" "get lost and let me live my life happily" " I will win over u" ..

I am 15. There are 6 vocal and 1 silent voice within us.
Desire: Myself (I am their equal)
Logic: Helpful, motivational, and (although not as much as me) a bit emotional in comparison to Truth.
Truth: Unbiased, skeptical, truthful, yet also good in character.
(Here are the "Demon" thoughts)
Shatter: Self-hatred, however he eliminates arrogance.
Ruin: Hatred of the world, however he prevents us from becoming a pitiful tool.
Serpent: Wishes only for us to be happy-- Our only objective should be faith and happiness.
The Unknown voice...we feel him, respect him-- all of us-- but none of us know what he is. We KNOW he is there, we just don't know what his intent is in our mind.

THEY ARE REAL PEOPLE! They use telepathy and try to get you to talk about your life and then they blackmail you with it. You need to get far enough away from them to sleep because they "watch" your dreams.Just keep going till you cant "feel" them any more. They can make you pee and give you erections if they get too close to you (know you well enough). They can make your head and body hurt. Keep you awake at night and make your heart beat faster. They destroyed my life and try to get me to kill myself. They said I was too good of a person. They tell you they are there to help(to keep you talking and around) and make you a better person but they are there to test there powers on you. DONT LET THEM GET TOO CLOSE TO YOU AND TELL THEM NOTHING! QUITE YOUR MIND AND GET AWAY FROM THEM!! email me sumguy42@live.com

Your email is no good. Do you have a new valid email ?
Are you having this experience ? I am having voices that are also causing physical ailments as you mentioned and it's horrible. Did you resolve your problem ? and if so how ?
What do you mean THEY are real people ?
PLS reply ASAP you can email me direct at shamwow@excite.com

I'm 15, and used to be a great student, a trusting and trusted friend, and an overall stable person...until this one voice messed it up. It dosen't just talk to me, it seizes control over my body, with me occassionally fighting free for a short time. 3 days after it started, the controlling voice decimated my social life. I lost all my friends and I didn't have a clue! I think I'm going mad.

your not crazy. dont let them tell you to do anything stupid. they are psychics dont let them get too close to you if you can. I figured it out. let me guess they can give you erections even when your not thinking about sex? make you pee even?? Are you okay???? e-mail me...ask them about Lucifer. DO NOT TRUST THEM THEY ARE REAL AND ARE TESTING ON YOU

none of you are crazy you need to read the holy bible king james version it will help. basicly your spiritual antennas are higher then most people so you can hear spirits, it's one of the things the bible called babylon. you can repent of any and everything by the blood of jesus (yahoveh saved) YAHOVEH IS GODS NAME. READ

I believe in my opinion that everyone hears voices in our heads its just like when were thinking and making decisions. I guess it just defend weather is negative or positive. Just follow the positive voices and ignore the negatives ones. also try meditation practice and good exercise. hope we all get better soon.

What you got is a connection with the Spiritual World. What you ear are spiritual entities, most of it demons, who parasite your soul's energy by deceiving you and bringing you down in all the ways they can. Ultimately, if you let them do it, they may dominate your life and bring you to self-destruction. Fight back. Make questions to them, try to understand who they are and what are their intentions by catching them in their lies and contradictions.Beat them with your intelligence and with the light of understanding. It will become a source of knowledge to you, you will release your soul and they will get weak and eventually disappear. Welcome to the Spiritual War.

I was diagnosed with schizophrenia at age 23 and this hits everything about voices in your head right on the mark. If you don't posses the intelligence(aka), got tricked into alternate realities and scenarios often, talk to someone who has a degree in this field, knowledge is power.

Hmm... I know all about this. I often have to tap into my inner child when viewing the world. If I didn't my heart would be just as cold and heartless as every other adult out there. I can use my inner childs lack of prejudice when dealing with a extreme case in my job. Children don't victimize, they don't point fingers, they don't know the difference between races, genders, nationalities, illnesses, weight, etc. But there are circumstances when I cannot do this. I cannot be my inner child when I have to pay bills or ask for raise or discipline my child. I've noticed that many don't understand this concept though. It's the level of selfishness that determines it. Hence Ego... why would someone want to discipline their child correctly if it meant stepping outside THEIR boundaries.

Sorry, I had to chop my commit down so much; I had to do a second one. I have been thinking that I was going crazy receiving all of this information that just keeps coming to me. I have been looking for others such as myself this continuing in coming of information is totally unbelievable. My life is fully consumed with it I have to write it or I feel I am not doing what I am supposed to doing, I have to discus because I really don't know anyone in my life that can understand. It's a great feeling, but frustrating all at the same time. You have to know how I mean frustrating not in a madding sense but kinda. I see now that I am far from being the only one. So, what to do next? that is the question. We can't all be crazy...can we?

I have been writing the same words for a while It is more like; something I have no control over. I feel I must write about this subject I feel that it is my purpose in life to get others to understand why this world is going all wrong. I write about it most days in Craigslist I get lots of people wanting to know more But it's just seems such a task to get the message out that if we learn to think right that it could change the whole world. that all of our governments are being run by ego's, if they where not then we would not have wars, hate, judgment, argument.

I don't hear singular, dicernible voices, but I do have *inclinations* or images/wants/ramdom thoughts thrown out me throughout the day. If I zone out, sometimes I can hear two or three voices, arguing mostly, but they are always MY voice. I think this is either my weird way of reasoning or I have Multiple Personality Disorder. Since the conversations usually have nothing to do with anything I was just talking about, I have to think either the latter... Or something else. From what I hear, a lot of you have symptoms for being a ghost whisperer (not the show, the real thing), but mine don't seem like ghosts...

I used to hear voices in my head all the time when i was little. Usually they were kind and innocent voices, like from the dandelions outside the window. Sometimes, however, i would hear darker voices telling me to jump off a bridge or drown myself in the bathtub. After a few years, they all disappeared. Sometime during my fourteenth year, they came back
. The first was a spiteful voice telling me to kill everyone in sight. The second was calm and quiet; my voice of reason. The third is suicidal and wants me to die so she can too. Now there are at least ten, and when they all start talking at once my brain gets overloaded. I've been trying to block them out, but they tell me that when i do so i'm only blocking myself out. I told one of my friends when she told me she hears voices in her head. However, her voices are intermittent and unintelligent, whereas i can have an intelligent conversation with my voices, without knowing what they're thinking.

Ive been hearing voices since I was 19y old. It started when both my parents were murdered in front of me and I was forced to bury them(Plz I dont need to talk about it anymore).They were horrifying at first and were very verbally abusive, but one day I just freaked out and gave them a solid piece of my mind. Now im in controle again as the main voice. The voices also used to get jellious of each other. Every morning when I wake up, me and all of the other voices hold a meeting to descuss the days activities and we decide on a plan of action. Hearing voices in my head is awesome. Its like having a bunch of friends with you 24/7. You should appreciate the gift that you have gotten

I can hear others tought process faintly when in public. They say things, racial remarks, lustful comments, and other statements. Proof has represented itself in the replies I receive while interacting with other people. I had to close my facebook account to keep from hearing peoples personal opinions of my page, they were mostly smiteful. I've learned that human beings are cruel by nature. I hear the voices of those I know and those I haven't met yet. I've been under constant attack as of now. Some have seen me as threat, I'm continously hearing "he's demental" as a remark along with other hateful comments from a select group that won't be mentioned. I'm affraid of what may happen if I continue to hear their voices for my emotional well being is at stake. Their under the impression I'll go crazy... god help me.

i have been hearing voices for a year. They've been scarying me for a long time I really dont like it sometime i thought about killing my self hopefully i am fine now.
Now i hear them calling my name and few times they repeat my thoughts.

This site i found out of the blue. im sittin here depressed about work and a lot of other thngs so to find that there are people out there just like me is a eye opener. i just wanna say thanks to Mark and to all of you that took the time to share. It really did put a smile back on this jokers face.

i am lucifur the light bear the gate keeper of the heavens the son of suns the bright star the one who died for life the one who brought life in existence though death the one whom reserected from death to cast out darkness to light balance of whom we are negitive n positive good and evil.(live) in to this dream state of what we think is reality but is awaken to others as god to the cells of the earth individals..humans......but one day you will know the truth......i am the father the son an the holy gost i am god i am love

I had a voice in my head for a few years now, at first it was always angry or pissed off at something. but lately he's become quite docile and has been helping me with my school work. All I did was talk to it, calmed it down. word of advice DO NOT ignore the voice / voices, they'll only get angry and loud, accept it, live with it, if that doesn't help, your problem is something different then what I got.
Peace

im limited to 1000 characters, so im adding to my previous blog... i literally have no clue where the other voices come from... and i would feel dumb naming them or characterizing them as something seperate from myself, cause that would make me sound schitzophrenic, i went to a pshychologist for a year who did not diagnose me with schitzophrenia.. but the rule of thumb for doctors is, if u hear voices then your schitzophrenic and you fall into this very big category with , everyone else, most who belong in it...i guess im just looking for some clarity... it gets weirder, i believe these other voices fluently understand and follow my own train of thought and respond to it accordingly.. now i feel like will smith " is there anybody out there"

hi i started hearing voices when i was 18 and im 24 now, as im typing this i can still hear them... the weird part is, well normal for me, im still convinced that these other voices that i hear... are not my own, not my (ego) not part of my natural (stream of consiouness) not my inner voice.. im a very logical person.. and here are a couple reasons why i hear other voices.. 1 .. the voices are faint and sometimes hard to hear. 2 sometimes its the voice of a male, sometimes female. 3 they use vocabulary, or combinations of words that i dont use... they dont even sound like me... but i hear them.. does anyone else have this connection? im not complaining about them.. i can sometimes understand them...

I am also convinced these voices that I hear are not mine I am sure. I just can't prove it and I'm tired of sounding crazy. They are ruining my life. They threaten and can physically harm me. I have been experiencing this since I was 16 I am 25 now. I am not sure what to do. It's good to know other people come out about it.

I feel like you sometimes, I hear voices also, but I know who most of the voices belong to. For me, they are “unusual-dreams”. that com from the subconscious, then to the conscious mind, where I repeat the voices I hear. It was an “unusual-dreams” that guided my to this site. Someone asked if I knew the dude up above, “nope”, they also had paper and wrote down info. They also have age issues, or transposed the numbers. I have also noticed a lot of these posts seem familiar; maybe someone posted on my behalf or I read them while I was asleep. Psychic, “nah”, I also dream of a Civil War Soldier with email and we share some amazing images, funny huh? (Not the images) I can tell that you hear the voice while you’re writing because you sound like you are writing 2, “me too”. Msg to my voice(s): looking4michelle (yes I am) is not intended to be a question at this time, it’s a statement….”Com on!” It also sounds like I have identity issues.

I do too. Once I heard a voice that sounded like an old black guy. Some of my voices are emo, and one is WAAAAAYYY too bubbly. Sometimes the voice's "controll" me, and I act kind of like that particular voice.

Im 17 gonna be 18 in one month im having the same problem as you i even hear them while i typed this iit sucs cause my family think im weird/ crazy but i dont think they wanna tell me so i wont feel bad It sucks it started a few months ago and the voices have gotten stronger i hear them everywere i go somtimes even when cars pass by with windows up i hear mumbling itz weird but what bothers me the most is that is all in in my head i just dont understand why would my mind be createing different people with different voices they talk amongst them selves and somtimes about me

Hi, I read what you said and I feel the sane way. I've been hearing voices for a long time I'm only 15 but I know I've been hearing them for years I've attempted talking to my mom about it but she thinks I'm crazy so I decided just to look up voices today to see if anyone else was dealing with them too. I feel the same way as you do. I hear them all the time sometimes male sometimes female they are usually faint but sometimes I can make out what they are saying.

ive heard voices and screaming in my head all my life,i just didnt realise they were controlling me,until i became a heavy drug user,i havent done drugs for a few years now,and the best advice i can give anyone like me,is this.when you find your mind is startin too slip,and all different ideas and words are being thrown around in your mind,just realise what is happening at that instant,and shake it off,force them out of your head and become the person who is looking through your eyes,not all the people you become when your eyes are shut,or when your staring into space,look through your own eyes and see your own life.do this every time your mind slips,and thats how you live with being more than a little bit crazy,im crazy,i know i am,but its okay with me

Yeah.
I have hear voices for about a year - two of them. one is psychotic and tells me to atteck things and the other is a sniper and spots places to snipe from and how to. But he can be quite helpful and nice. the other shouts at me.
at first i was scared and wanted to do something, but now i just listen to the sniper and ignore the other.
You can function normally if you try!

i hear voices in my head every day. not only do i hear my own but i hear others also. i have always wondered why but never found a direct answer this opened a few doors. I'm not crazy as some see it but i have found a way that works for me and i would like to share it with others. meditation has proven to be useful to me. find a candle or incense that calms you and try it it may or may not help you.

your comment seems to be describing what you go through in a fashion very simular to my situation. i hear my own but i hear others etc etc....... me too.. the problem is i dont even bother with meditation cause im not looking for a temporary solution... actually meditation just confirms that i can connect to these other voices that are fascinatingly not my own...am i telepathic? doubt it ,but wtf is really going on ?, does anyone ever feel like me?

"does anyone ever feel like me? "
There is something similar going on with lots of people it seems, including me for 4-5 years now.
Although the sounds/thoughts are intrusive/personal and annoying 24/7 they have not caused me any real harm. At times i can tell they are repetitious and other times they seem instance responses, like you mentioned totally different vocabulary's from our own. There are many people with mental illness out there but this is something from an outside source i am 100% sure, to help or hinder us i am still undecided. Finding any worthy specific info on the net is very hard to come by. Hearingvoicesnetwork seems to have some people in the same situation but they totally cop out and give in to it as though its just something you have to live with.Oddly enough(trying not to sound like a flake) there is some information on this page that is identical to my experience under the Brain Wave Monitors / Analysers section- http://www.surveillanceissues.com/

I am having the same problem.Sometimes I wonder if I am telepathic, but the voices sound like a brother and sister I know. I went into a side business with them but didn't live up to their expections ( I think) Now even though they are not around me I can hear their voices talking bad about me saying I'm crazy, lazy, and that no one likes me. I work overnight and they say bad sleep patterns can affect the mind. Are they really talking about me or is it my inner critic. I'm setting up an appt for counseling but am very afraid of drugs. I'm afraid it will make the situation worst.
